Abstract: Fretting is a damaging phenomenon, generally observed when a mating pair is subjected to a small amplitude of oscillatory motion. The contact behavior in fretting is governed by a complex interaction between mechanical ...

Abstract: The fracture behavior of a crack in a threaded bolt depends on the stress intensity factor (SIF). Available SIF solutions have approximated the threaded bolt as a circular groove, thus, the SIF predominantly corresponds ...

Abstract: Safety norms across the world are becoming more and more stringent posing new challenges to achieve lightweight vehicle structures. Structures made of advanced/ultrahigh strength steels (AHSS) play a vital role in meeting ...
